THE UNITED IN SERVICE SCHOLARSHIP

The United Way of Southeast Iowa is proud to present the United In Service Scholarship. This Scholarship had its inaugural year in April of 2024, where we celebrated some fantastic teens that have changed this community for the better. We not only were excited to give, but are excited to host once more the United In Service Scholarship for 2025. We are accepting applications from now, until February 28, 2025. If you or someone you know deserves to be recognized for their outstanding efforts we have five available scholarships to hand out.
